5. You are given a list of binary compounds (only two different elements) and asked to determine the relative melting points. a) Which would have the higher melting point, the binary ionic compounds or the binary covalent compounds? Explain your choice? b) If you have two different ionic compounds, like Bal; and Mgo, which would have the higher melting point and why? c) For those compounds that are covalent, which would you expect to have the higher melting point and why (what would you be looking for – give an example)?

A piece of solid iron sinks in a container of molten iron. A piece of solid aluminum sinks in a container of molten aluminum. Why doesn't a piece of solid water (ice) sink in a container of "molten" (liquid) water? Explain, using molecular terms.
A heartburn tablet (like Tums or Rolaids) contains food grade calcium carbonate (s) to neutralize stomach acid, HCl(aq). Calcium carbonate is part of the rock cycle in the world of geology and is a type of sedimentary rock called limestone, that forms in oceans. The White Cliffs of Dover England and the Seven Sisters of Sussex England shown in the picture here are also made of calcium carbonate, specifically chalk. Chalk is a pure white limestone formed from the remains of tiny marine organisms (plankton) that lived and died in clear warm seas that covered much of Britain around 70 to 100 million years ago. Do not eat chalk to neutralize stomach acid as it is not purified food grade! Write the balanced molecular equation including phases for solid calcium carbonate reacting with hydrobromic acid. Then write the Full ionic equation including phases. Finally, write the net ionic equation including phases.

Which of the following describes a metallic substance? A tightly packed lattice of positively and negatively charged ions. The electrostatic interactions holding the ions together are hard to disrupt. A pure element or a mixture composed of neutral atoms arranged in an ordered lattice. Electrons are easily passed between atoms. A long chain of small repeating units made of atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. A network of covalent bonds connecting many atoms into one large molecule. The substance's physical properties depend on how its atoms are connected.
